Hi! Sorry for the delayed reply, I don’t get email notifications for the forums. I am excited that you have UM plugin integration on your to do list, judging from the features listed on the description it seems exactly along the lines of what I’m looking for if it can work with UM system.
I am building a dating site and a social networking site, and I need geolocation for both. Some specific features that would be helpful for me:
– Display how far away User A is from User B in miles (and option to view in KM) on their UM profile
– My users are able to submit their own “post”, the post is basically an activity that they want to do (example: User A posts that he wants to have Coffee @ Starbucks @ 9am). I am using User-Submitted-Posts plugin to allow them to do this on the front end) within their post I want them to be able to type in the location of the activity they are posting (with address autocomplete functionality). So ideally there would be a way (maybe with shortcode) to insert the location autocomplete box (not sure how to call it properly) on the page they are making their post with, and then it would all link together. Don’t think this would have much to do with UM integration (maybe more-so with User Submitted Posts plugin) but just an idea of how I would need to use geolocation features.
– I want other users to be able to go and search all of the site’s global posts by proximity to the current user’s current location (option to view activities posted within 5 miles, 10 miles, 15 miles, 500 miles, any distance etc of the user’s current location)
– Also would be excellent for User B to click on User A’s activity post and see how far away that activity’s location is from the user B’s current location (option to see driving time for User B to get to activity location of User A is a big plus too)
This is not an exhaustive list, but the ones I can think of right now. I am still planning out the exact geolocation features I need, but this is to just give you an idea. Really, it sounds like I could use every feature that you have listed in the functionality, especially complex location search filtering.
